Sushi Garden

Went to Sushi Garden for the first time and I'm so impressed with how authentic the place feels. Very warm and friendly staff. They accomodated our requests to the best of their abilities and the food was just divine. Coming from an Asian country with an abundance of authentic Japanese food, not a lot of places come close but this place certainly delivered. Must try- rolling in the sushi

The service was prompt and both staff and chef were very polite and friendly. There was a big party going on when we arrived without reservations. After we were seated, the chef came to inform us orders may take up to 45 minutes as they are busy serving the party. We do not mind the wait and happy if they could serve us drinks and appetizers while we wait. They promptly did and mains did not take long too. Food is very good. Fish and seafood (sushi) was fresh. Presentation was simple. The broth of the udon was flavorful.

I was looking for a japnese restaurant that served Pork Katsudon and checked their menu via google maps and was disappointed to when we arrived that the did not have Pork Katsudon, they had Pork Katsu which is a very different dish. I ordered the pork katsu hoping my craving would be satisfied but I was still disappointed because the dish is dry despite the katsu sauce served with it. We ordered other dishes: Takoyaki, Chef's Teardrop (salmon lover roll), and Spider Roll. The Takoyaki was nothing special, it tasted like the frozen takoyaki we buy at asian supermarkets. The Chef's teardrop tasted wonderful as I am a salmon lover but I wish it had more rice and was bigger. The winning dish for me is the Spider Roll! The batter and seasoning of the soft shell crab was amazing! We are not locals and this is our first time dining here, and there is a small chance we will come back as they do not serve my favourite dish: Pork Katsudon. Service is amazing, food was served in good time and the staff are very friendly and professional. I loved the atmosphere and decors, felt authentically Japanese. They had spacious toilets for men and women with a baby changing area but not disabled friendly as it was downstairs.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Lunchtime meal and drinks. This is an excellent restaurant and a must visit, it's like a mini slice of Japan in Brighton. Made to feel very welcome, not over bearing, professional throughout. The food is exceptional, the depth of flavours and delicate tastes come together exquisitely. Be that the noodles the sushi or the miso soups, all very tasty. Very clean throughout. The value, lunchtime, is very good. I shall be returning for an evening visit next.
